i do hope that a way is found for twitter to work with opera mini. i rather liked the idea of being able to update on my mobile phone using that browser. the new design looks better. but i'll have to see if any other usability issues crop up. kouji's last blog post..haiku poem: soft

I even didn't notice for a while that they changed their design... More than anything, I hate some people started spamming on twitter by following me. webspy.jp - twitter user's last blog post..Metallicaのニューアルバム「Death Magnetic」はCDよりもゲーム内の方が高音質？

I am new to the whole twitter and social networking thing, but it seems to be cool. Besides, social networking is a while lot better than paying for advertising when you are selling a product.

I still have to check the design out. What other social networking things are out there like twitter or better?

Hey the fact that 2 types are on twitter one who post meaningless dribble about going to work then going home and then going to sleep and the other type who uses tweets to build their brand. "Change" rules why not accept that and grow forward and stop wishing for the past to stay the same in the tomorrow. Star Riley's last blog post..Online Success Simple 30 day plan part 6

I stumbled on the new design on the night of its release after not being on Twitter for a few hours. After jumping back on Twitter its seems that the general consensus is positive. I definitely can't say the same for Facebook. While I've been using (and liking) the new Facebook interface throughout the Beta period, the majority of people I've talked to about it after the official launch have not adjusted too well. Guess you can't please everyone on the road to product improvement. Jeff Glasson's last blog post..Users gripe, Adobe listens

I like it, but I don't use it much. The best thing about Twitter is that you can get a lot out of it without ever going to the site. So it's fine with me. Rob Williams's last blog post..Social Media Basics

I find the new design awesome. Except for one key issue… It doesn’t work at all in Opera Mini. No ability to post. No ability to reply. No ability to fave.

I really hope they fix this, because the mobile site has such poor usability, it too is unusable.

I’d have to say I like it. At first I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but then I saw the little box at the top corner telling me about the changes.

Although I can see where you might feel that the benefits are more for Twitter as opposed to its users (at present, anyhoo), I would also suggest that to get to the point where Twitter can make the real benefits for its users it needs to have a stable environment first. Just look at the amount of times the over-Twittered message popped up!

Still, it definitely would have been nice to know or at least get a heads up first. Would have saved me a trip to the optician’s…

I personally favor Plurk to Twitter. While it does not have the user base of Twitter I have found it to be more rewarding because of it nested responce format. IMNJ's last blog post..Trail Review: Hartshorne Woods County Park

@Joe – I agree, they should have consulted with users–or at least made it look like they cared.

I like the new design too. What I don't like is them rolling it out with out warning. Twitter should take a lesson from Facebook. Joe Hall's last blog post..Links are making people go crazy!

Like Andy, I also enjoy the new design. If for no other reason, the top-right design showing the statistics of people followed, followers, and updates looks classier. I also never used the “archive” tab, opting for the various search applications.

I like the re-design…I think they could go even further with the Ajax-y stuff as well. We need to keep this in perspective, after all Twitter is still a 1.0 product. Having said that, and as I’ve blogged about in the past the Twexutives there should spend one day on video/tutorials for newbies. That would go a long way for the many who sign up and then say “I don’t get it”…
